Happiness

Word Count: 2,735

Summary: Nova and Fushimi have a heart to heart about the year they’ve spent together, and what it means to them.

*Author’s Note*: A fic I wrote to celebrate my one year anniversary with Saruhiko and oof, I’m trying not to get stupidly teary. It’s hard for me to describe exactly how I feel about him and what he means to me…he’s just extremely important to me. His character interests me, makes me feel good, and I identify with him more than I should, probably because I read into things too much and make a lot of stuff up. But he’s still special to me, immensely so, and probably always will be. This takes place on the roof of building where we first said I love you to each other (fic here) and uhhhh just jgilejslgs. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

For once, the facility was mostly quiet. As far as she could tell no squads had been sent out or vehicles dispatched to take care of one of the several criminal activities that were probably unfolding in the city right at this moment. They would come to the Captain’s attention soon enough, and when they did, appropriate measures would be taken to quell whatever unfortunate chaos had been stirred up. Things would be put back in their place, culprits would be subdued and taken in, and the setting in which such events had transpired would end up looking as uneventful as it had before it’d been employed as a battle ground for supernatural exploitation. Nova was just glad no one was asking her for anything, prodding her to do something, reminding her of some task she needed to finish. She was used to the workload by now, even fond of it to a certain extent, to the duties and itineraries that kept this complex operation running. But tonight she had her own agenda, a special occasion that took precedence over anything else.

What Matters Most

Summary: Nova and Ren have a heart to heart about the year they’ve spent together, and what it means to them.

*Author’s Note*: A fic I wrote for my one year anniversary with Ren, and wow I’m just. Wow lol. Happy, glad, surprised, happy again…I really do love him so much, and he’s done more for me than I can say. Even if it doesn’t make sense how a character can do anything for anyone, how they can affect someone on such a deep level, idk if even I can explain it. But it happened to me, with me, and I’m just so glad to know who he is and have him in my life. As a character, as a concept, he’s still doing things to help me accept more of myself and stop being so self-critical. This takes place in my AU ofc, the balcony is part of our apartment, and this ask explains a bit more about the first kiss disaster I mention because I have yet to write it lol, idk if I’ll ever manage to get around to it. Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

Propping herself up against the balcony’s railing, Nova caught sight of a comet as it sailed through the sky. A short lived, blazing arc of light that vanished out of existence almost as quickly as it had entered, at least from her perspective. The city was as lively as usual; the air was infused with rainbow hues of neon and the winding streets were populated by the type of people that thrived in the shadows the sun always left behind. A breeze blew by, ruffling her hair and cooling her face and thoughts. What a peaceful nighttime scene it was, a setting she’d come to love and appreciate, to take comfort in. This place had become a refuge for her, a safe space, a reliable retreat. It had also become her home, the place where she felt most relaxed, where she could breathe more easily than anywhere else.
